Heart And Dagger

Lady Charlotte Talbot hasn't seen Armand Rajaram de Bourbon, her oldest childhood friend and once betrothed, since his family returned to India when she was fifteen. Since then, she has left a groom at the altar, changed her name to Catalina Sol, opened a house for unwed mothers and orphans, and captained a ship, the Liberté, crewed by the best fighters in the Spanish Main. She's no longer the lady he left behind, not that she'd admit to wishing he'd return. When Armand's brother is kidnapped, he breaks his rule of never engaging with pirates. But desperation drives him to the Liberté and a life he thought he'd left far behind. He'd do anything to save Henri, but Armand never expected to find Charlotte here, and now that's he's found her, he doesn't have a clue what to do about it. Together, they must face kidnapping, pirate captains, blackmail, and themselves. The Liberté may sail thousands of miles from the shores of England, but that might not be far enough to escape the past.
